Safety vest for the safety of motorcyclists

We may not know it but in the department of Pas-de-Calais, is a “gentleman motorcycle.” That is a point person to go to the competent authorities (town hall, the Department, the Region …) difficulties encountered and reported on the road by drivers of motorcycles with safety vest. Mr. Motorbike is Lagache Michel, and was present at Lens for these two days of training. Without otherworldliness of this biker always book a reassuring statement: “Bikers are still much better equipped than a few years. But sometimes when common sense is not enough, we need legislation to strengthen security … “And Michel Lagache to demonstrate the airbag reflective vest motorcycle, not mandatory but highly recommended.

However, since 20 November, a decree requires PTW riders and passengers to wear approved gloves. Violators must pay 68 euro fine and lose 1 point on their driving license. No need to spend hundreds of Euros to get these reflective fabric gloves:” It just they have to be registered with the European certification” CE “. One can find in commerce from 40 Euros. “

Going free many places wearing a reflective vest

Sean and David decided to test their theory that they could have free access to certain places just by having the audacity … and wearing a fluorescent reflective jacket.

“To go without paying, you just pretend to be an important person, and people with safety vests are important people,” explain the two friends. “When you see a guy with a fluorescent yellow vest climb over a fence or go straight to a bouncer, you assume that it is there to fix something” , they continue on Vice .

It is from this idea that they could get free cinema in Melbourne. “Wearing our fluorescent reflective vest, Sean and I walked past the guy from the entrance to the counter and came back in the first room on our way.”

They then tried something more ambitious and headed to the zoo. “When the time came, we were stunned. Finally, we ended up double file naturally. On the way, Sean has even launched a” good day “to the seller of tickets. We could not believe it. ”

Proud of their success, they tried to board a bus but failed for the first time. Never mind, they wanted to see … a Coldplay concert. “To be totally honest with you, enter the stage was not easy. We had to stand for several different inputs and back several times on our feet, but it was relatively quiet compared to the challenge. In our surprise, everything went pretty well. In the end, we managed to get in.

Once inside, Sean sent a message to a friend that he knew there to tell him to join us. He obviously found our idea ridiculous vest. He said he would try to nab us temporary pass. At that time, our story away some simple safety vest but one can still say that without it, we could never see Coldplay. ”

Beyond the “joke” that poses real security issues…

Police in safety vest deal with the student died accident

Call friends and family on Facebook. His brother and his mother are in Spain.

At 4 in the night of December 31 Andrea Freccero, the student who died in Barcelona, was a dl taxi rank near the Casino and not far from the disco Cat Walk. There’s a boy, in fact, a Genoese, Philip D., who saw him and also spoke. The young student would Albissola said it had lost contact with his group but he would not ask for any help. Philip D., since the appeal launched by the family of Andrea Freccero on Facebook, has been in touch with his brother and the two were also felt by phone. The description that made it leaves no doubt. At this time the family of the student, who this morning spoke with the Italian consulate in Barcelona, are encountering the police in safety vest. One of the hypotheses is that the young, undocumented, may perhaps have been taken to hospital, even if you are having this kind of police at the time not found. You will soon also view the various security cameras installed in different paths points that night by the young.

The boy has vanished into thin air, in a night of celebration, between the Ramblas of Barcelona. Andrea, 19, student of Mazzini Vinci Savona, does not give news of himself from the evening of December 30 and yesterday afternoon, his family worried about this silence that with each passing hour it becomes more and more disturbing, have launched an appeal on Facebook with pictures of young, his data, the directions where he was last seen. A missing persons report was also presented to the Spanish police in reflective vest.

Today it is also made alive the owner of a restaurant in Barcelona. He said that some of his employees would see Andrea in the area of a skating rink, the first of the year. “And ‘far – says Luca Freccero – he has disappeared from the area where my brother. I went there, I showed around some pictures of Andrew, but no one recognized him. “Since yesterday, in fact, the mother and brother of the students are in Barcelona, understandably concerned because their fear is that the young man happened something serious.”This morning – explains Luca the phone – we were at the Italian consulate. Then we met the police who are following the story. They contacted several hospitals, but at the moment there were no admissions of young age of my brother and no papers. Also soon they will start to play back images recorded by security cameras located in various points that Andrea has traveled that night. ”

The concern of family members is that the nineteen year old who has health problems, has been lost and who knows where it went, or worse, happened to him something tragic. Andrea started on December 28th for Spain with a group of guys (around three hundred, from various parts of Italy) as part of a trip organized. The group (with Andrea there is another young Savona, Luca Marina) arrived in De Mar, a town on the Costa Brava, not far from Barcelona. On 30 December, in the travel plans, there was a visit to Barcelona. Andrea remained with the group (between 18 and 19) then, after a tour of the Ramblas, the evening was to have concluded in the Catwalk nightclub.

In the local, though, Andrea was not let in. The young, it seems that wearing a reflective fabric vest and a surf suit, the kind that come below the knee, clothing, however, considered inadequate by experts of the service order. The student of Mazzini remained well outside. Someone would see him walk towards the harbor area. Then the young man, who had no cell phone, they are untraceable. Tonight’s brother Luke and mother have left for Spain.
